Paris hadn’t changed much, well places don’t
change do they, only people. I should have thought that the other way around
myself. People rarely change {apart from getting older} and places change all
the time, it’s called progress. Portmeirion has changed, it has received some
cosmetic changes, and is no longer the Italianate Village Number 6 was abducted
to. His Village I much prefer to the modern clean cut Portmeirion of today.
Paris is where ZM73 was thinking of going on
holiday before he was abducted to The Village. Perhaps he would have attended
one of Madame Engadine’s celebrated parties, as he did during this episode. So
it might be that we’re watching ZM73 on holiday. And yet when he told ‘B’ that
he was going on a very long holiday, he was going somewhere quiet, somewhere
different where he could think, well that’s Portmeirion isn’t it? Certainly The
Village is quiet enough for anyone to spend time thinking, but too much
thinking isn’t good for one. There’s too much time dwelling on past events, one
can begin to regret decisions made, and actions taken, the mind then begins to
dwell on unhappy thoughts. And yet there are other people in The Village who
seem to have a very nice time, sitting around the cafe drinking coffee or tea.
Playing chess, playing beach ball, swimming in the open lido, long hikes
through the woods, sunbathing and the like!
Be seeing you
